Is Thanking A Person For A Best Response Against The TOS??

The guidelines say that thanking someone will not increase earnings, it does not say it is not allowed, so it is not against the rules. No-one should be expected to be paid for saying thank you, but should not prevent anyone from being polite, and letting someone know that a best response is appreciated. MyLot clearly states it does not pay for very short responses in discussions, but I see many people giving one line responses. It is not against the rules to do so, but it will not add anything to their earnings.

I think it is against the TOS but, I don't care. I always thank the giver for giving me a Best Response. I really do appreciate them and I want the person who thought enough about my response to give me a best response to know that I appreciate it. I do try to say something a little longer than Thank you. I don't always have much more to say than Thank you but, if I do, than I will.

I thank people sometimes but not all the time. They say not to do it but sometimes it is nice to see that people answered you and it is nice to let them know that even if it does not give us more for our earnings. I don't get many best responses so I don't have to worry about thankign them cause I only eever got one or two I think.

No I don't think that is against the rules. I think they are warning people not to simply respond to people by saying thank you for your post and nothing else. I think you are able to reply to everyone who responds to your posts as long as you are actually responding to what they are saying. Some people just say thanks and nothing else to everyone.

thanks for the information as i wasnt knowing this but i think i have never thanked anyone alone for the discussion or reply, i always write the comment i want to and then atlast i thank for something if i have felt for and then close the matter and post it but i dont do only thanking. when i was quite new to the site i did it like others here but later i realise that it earns nothing and only thanking is just ending the discussion there itself and hence later i always put the matter and then thank.

I don't think it is.. But I have been wrong before :D Have a nice day..

I don't know LOL I understand why they do it though, I am sure is takes up a ton of space on the servers they would rather use for real conversations. I don't think we are paid at all for responding to our own posts either, so thanking people doesn't pay.

't sound like it would be against the terms of service, to me. when I get a best response, and I see it, I often thank the person for giving me the best response. I don't have time to go through all responses and thank every person, but if I did, I don't think there would be a problem doing it. I doubt they'd censor

I always thank everyone who gives me a best response, I think it is only polite to do so.

Writing short messages thanking everyone won't help you earn more money. Sometimes I do thank users for posting in my threads. I just feel that it is an act of courtesy.

it depends on you what you are thinking.but people always thank those who respond them,right?if they just reply with such a sentence then i also think it is not worth to be paid.only when they give some qualified words then i think admin will reward it.

If its a DON'T to say thanks for the reply, it seems to me that it would be a DON"T to say thanks for the br. I can understand why people do both, but its not really adding to the discussion.

Hi, I used to reply all my discussions with more than you thanks.. I mean, I used to reply and comment all comments until there is nothing more to say, but suddenly last week I started to only thanks everyone because is not necessary to keep the discussion alive, since only the first reply count..

yes. i thank you too.

moonlitmagikchild, I think the terms clearly state that thank you post is simply discouraged here and I do agree to a certain extent. I am sure you are aware that it does not earn you anything and it will be simply hogging bandwidth. This is a discussion and lest you have anything to contribute further to the response you had been awarded, I suppose the admin here would prefer that you thank the person by sending a personal message to him/her. I am for this as the admin does seem to want to prevent any precedence of one liners as it is simply detrimental to the health of this forum. You have contributed and contributed well and I am sure there are other better methods to express your gratitude either a personal email and/or a personal message.

It probably should be BUT theres not going to be near as many people saying that as they would be for the number of discussions and responses that are posted...you can only give out one BR. I say thank you everytime for a BR- except to the people who have said DONT thank me everytime.

It's not against TOS, but it doesn't get you anything.

it depends on ur thinking..........bible is a universally accepted holy book the way u understand it makes the difference ..........similarly every relationship..
